Both teams will start with the basics: explore new ways to decode neural signals to understand what sorts of stimulation could help reestablish the brain’s ability to process new memories after an injury. They’ll also design computer models that describe how neurons encode memories. Building on that foundation, the teams will work with volunteers who suffer from memory deficits, along with patients undergoing neurosurgery for conditions such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s.
